Using Multivariate Analyses to Assess Effects of Fluvial Type on Plant Species Distribution in a Mediterranean River

Abstract: We propose a method to assess the distribution of plant assemblages along rivers delimiting homogeneous fluvial types using cluster analysis applied to morphological features, quantified with aerial photos and geographic information system software. A stratified random sampling design along the elevational gradient was used to analyze riparian plant species. Multivariate statistics were applied to detect patterns of variation in the species data, and among functional and ecological groups. Cluster analysis ide… Show more

“…phytosociological releves [20,22,26,41, and the present study]. Multivariate statistics [24,25] have become a useful tool for detection of patterns of vascular species richness and distribution of their ecological groups on the background of primary and secondary topographic attributes of a given terrain, including riparian landscapes [9,10,22,[26][27][28].…”
